D-Day

14:15

Arrived at the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre with a view to grabbing a little sleep in the minibus before setting off at about 16:00.  While in the Centre, we checked the weather and had a chat with the Centre co-ordinator.  The weather on the summit was blizzard conditions, 40mph winds, gusting 60mph, with a wind chill temperature of -17! She advised us that if we really wanted to attempt the climb we should leave straight away as the conditions were expected to worsen! It's now 14:15 and we are off! Wish us luck!
